Enduring Elm Fences From Old Ohio Farm

A sketch from Ohio Farmer notes elms on Rev. Caleb Pitkin’s Hadson area farm in Portage County. The trees, planted about twenty years ago, stand four feet apart with mortised beards forming interlocking fence posts. The design yields a solid fence with rare repairs. Locust is mentioned as a cheaper, ornamental alternative though shorter lasting.

Daily exercise for horses and a rural baking code

The piece stresses daily outdoor exercise as essential for horses to maintain health, circulation, and endurance, warning against overworking and noting risks. It parodies bread and riding rewards, then lists a White Fass Code for recipes and a cake formula, echoing rural domestic guidance from 19th century sources.
